Southwest States Agree To Reopen Schools by Nobody: 6:16pm On Jul 15, 2020 |
The six Southwest States have agreed to reopen schools for SS3 students to participate in the West African School Certificate Examination (WASCE) next month. The States are Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Osun and Ekiti. Their decision is contrary to the position of most of the 19 northern states, which supported the Federal Government’s decision to suspend school reopening for SS3 students due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Federal Government also declared last week that candidates will not participate on WASCE over safety concerns. But at a virtual meeting by the Development Agenda for Western Nigeria (DAWN) Commission on Tuesday, Commissioners, Special Advisers on Education and SUBEB chairmen reached an agreement to reopen schools for SS3 students to write their final examinations. The meeting also agreed on the needs for Southwest states to implement a 2016 plan to establish a regional examination body akin to IJMB in the North. The plan was laid out at the roundtable on creating a collaborative framework for education development and advancement in Western Nigeria in Osogbo, the Osun State capital in 2016. A statement by the DAWN Commission indicated that all the states will reopen schools for SS3 students by August 3 with COVID-19 preventive measures in place. According to the statement, the states will approach the Federal Government, at the first instance, to seek postponement of the WASCE by at least three weeks from the proposed resumption date. At the second instance, states are to directly approach the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to seek postponement of the examination to August 24. On resumption, all schools are to appoint incident managers and classroom wardens, according to the document. There will also be designation of quality assurance department for each state to issue a safety compliance certificate to each school before reopening. The state will also encourage intensive advocacy campaigns to stakeholders including parents, teachers, caregivers, school owners and pupils on what is expected of them when schools resume. The meeting also called on the WAEC to encourage Computer-Based Tests (CBT) in the future. https://thenationonlineng.net/southwest-states-agree-to-reopen-schools/?fbclid=IwAR0bLguNI1pbkmQdyR72-zEJSt36AztXflpHSAUxSvtfk1KYwnxizpeHVt4 |

Unrealistic, so schools in other regions of the country and other West African states will write a different examination... Seems dey don't know the cost of printing those examination questions.... |

2special: FG should just open schools so SS3 students can write WAEC. What is so difficult in organizing external exam for only SS3 student and abide by social distancing for heaven's sake |

Good South east and south south governors are very stupid. How can they sit on the fence watching like dummies copying northerners that don't value education. North don't care if schools remain shut from now to till thy kingdom come. They should put measures in place and open up schools fully. 4 Likes 1 Share |

South West governors, always cooperating irrespective of party to achieve the common goals of Yoruba without making noise and chest beating. This is what Omoluabis should always do. Slapp44, what do you think 2 Likes |

Omoluabi... If markets can open, if people can still enter danfo (public transport), then I see no reason why students shouldn't be able to write their exams with enough classrooms to maintain maximum social distancing and order while following other necessary precautions and procedures.

2special: I guess they're trying to set the pace since, according to Education Minister, he has no plans of reopening schools this year. Eventually, FG will reopen schools by August/September It's a nice move |
